Sundries

Morning all!

I've a guest post at Amber's fabulous Just Your Typical Book Blog, and you should go check it and her out. It's about the way books and music interrelate, which is one of my passions.

I'm deep in line-edit land, where I can't think or read about other people's words too much. I overanalyze without seeing story. Pink and Delirium sit untouched on my bedside table. I'll make a point to read and review something this weekend.

Today, I get to teach part of my Writing II class. I'm using Nathan Bransford's Seven Keys to Writing Good Dialogue, which I love. Dialogue has become one of the joys of writing for me, and I love helping others find that!

About Me

I'm an aspiring YA author and nerdfighter who lives in Boston MA. I'm studying for an MA/MFA in Children's Literature at Simmons College. I also enjoy speaking at various events about my experiences. In my spare time (ha) I obsess over things like Grey's Anatomy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer,Torchwood and every CD I can get my hands on.
